This is such a quick, simple dish and it’s a lot healthier than it sounds because I used whole-wheat spaghetti and turkey sausage. See? I’m trying! I came home from work at 6 pm, got into the kitchen, and had dinner ready by 6:30. What’s better than that? A salad or some vegetables would go nicely with this, but I didn’t have any, and believe me, it’s a great meal either way. I will absolutely be making this dish again. Recipe after the jump!

Your ingredients.

Slice your onions and place into a pan with olive oil and the sausages.

After a few minutes, add in your salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Add the beer.

Cover everything and reduce the beer to about half while the sausage cooks. This should take about 8 minutes. Boil your pasta during this time.

Make sure to turn the sausages over about halfway through.

Serve the pasta and sausage together. Drizzle the juices from the pan and the onions over all everything.

Wow, this looks amazing! This dinner is like my husband’s wet dream. Seriously. I’m printing out your post right now and am going to make it for Sunday night dinner, and then I’m going to direct him to your blog for the outpouring of joy.

Oh, I almost forgot I left a few awards on my blog for you. Just wanted to let you know that your blog is one of my faves and more often than not, the one I look to for dinner and dessert! Thanks for passing along such great recipes and taking the time to photograph everything. It does make things easier!

Hey there! Hi There!
Thanks for the link to my page! I have tried and tried,
whole wheat pasta……..you’re right its better for you.
I just can’t get past the texture, its a harder pasta….
Nice to meet you Crepes of Wrath.
I so dig that name.

I used Newcastle for the beer, multigrain angel hair & thin spaghetti for the pasta (which is the best kind to use for those who don’t typically like the texture of grainy pasta, IMHO) and organic hormone-free apple chicken sausage for the meat. It was delicious, but I think I’ll use egg noodles next time. Thanks, as ever, crepesofwrath!

This recipe is great! It has become a quick staple in our house. There are just two of us at home so this is a great meal to cut in half so we dont have too many leftovers! I try to always keep some of the sausages frozen in the freezer, and then I seem to always have everything on hand to make this dish.
